Irnes Zeljkovic, the University of Western Ontario student whose violent arrest became famous on YouTube, has successfully completed a mental health assessment and the Crown has suspended all charges.

Ian Millar, Zeljkovic’s lawyer, told the London Free Press (LFP) that Zeljkovic participated willingly in the treatment plan.

“He’s looking 100 times better than the first time I met him. He’s doing very well,” Millar said.

Millar also told the LFP that he will be looking into pursuing a civil suit due to the “traumatic” nature of Zeljkovic’s arrest.

On Oct. 14, 2009, Zeljkovic was behaving oddly towards other students and barricaded himself in an office in the UWO Social Sciences building.

The campus police were called and can be seen in a YouTube video kicking and punching Zeljkovic while yelling “Stop resisting!”

Zeljkovic was eventually charged with escaping police custody, resisting arrest, assaulting a peace officer and mischief.

“He kind of had a mental health issue on that day,” Millar said following the event.

Zeljkovic will have to work with a treatment plan for a year, otherwise the Crown could resurrect the charges and continue with prosecution and sentencing.
